Breaking Free,
This makes me think of a puppy with huge paws. It's pretty obvious what the paws should be used for, when they should be used and how they should be used but they just don't quite fit right with the body they are attached to. They are awkward and make the owner trip on him or herself but everyone watching knows that it won't last. Newly discovered emotions can be like that.
That was meant to be encouraging but it may not have seemed that way. ;)
You are right about not being able to change other people but your reactions to them can and probably will change. For me it's about picking battles and whether I will remember the incident in 1-5 years. Most things aren't worth getting bent out of shape about and when I smoked my shape was bent a good deal of the time! My reactions now are much healthier, much more honest and more balanced than when I smoked but it will take some time to get there. But you will and you'll do it in a way that is perfect for you.
God Bless
Sandra
